Choosing the perfect luxury vinyl

For some people, the mention of “luxury vinyl” brings back memories of the old sheet vinyl that use to grace the bargain flooring bins of their childhood. Let us assure you, this is not that same product. No, this material is far more advanced, and offers many more benefits than the vinyl flooring from all those years ago. In fact, after you realize all that this floor covering has to offer, you’ll wonder why it took you so long to choose it.

Carpetland strives for 100% customer satisfaction. This means that we will always go the extra mile to make sure that you leave with a floor covering that perfectly fits your needs, and is a flooring that you will enjoy looking at and walking on for years to come. We service the areas of Springfield, Woodbridge, Alexandria and Falls Church, VA, with a showroom located in each of those areas. Feel free to visit us and speak with a flooring professional who can assist you in every way.

Luxury vinyl’s many benefits

Few floor coverings have the same versatility that luxury vinyl flooring (LVF) has. It’s probably best known for its ability to mimic many natural resources that are so popular among homeowners today. For instance, it can look just like natural stones such as granite and marble, solid hardwoods or even porcelain or ceramic tile. These resources not only look the same, but they feel the same as well, right down to the grainy wood textures and grout lines.

The best part about this mimicked look, is that there are none of the heavy maintenance needs associated with LVF. Wood and stone are often in need of sealants, special cleaners and professional servicing, but none of that is necessary with LVF. The truth is, if you have a broom and a mop, you have all the tools necessary for keeping this floor covering looking brand new for years to come.

Luxury vinyl flooring comes in both plank and tile, which are very easy to work with, and aid in the all-natural look homeowners enjoy so much. Because of their size, they are easy to install, and if a piece is damaged during installation, it doesn’t break the bank to replace the piece. Some are installed using glue, or nail down techniques, others offer a peel-and-stick option, while still others can be clicked together for a “floating floor”effect.
